Introduction

These snack bars pack a punch! Full of energy: protein, carbs, and healthy fats, all in one! Be careful: a little bit of this recipe will go a long way. I use them as a morning boost before I work in the morning before the sun comes up, then eat a little something else when it's time for breakfast. These snack bars pack a punch!

Ingredients

    .5 c. peanut butter (natural, if you can)
    .25 c. honey
    .25 c. molasses (I didn't add cinnamon, but that could go great with the molasses flavor!)
    1 tsp vanilla

    1 c. oats (steel cut)
    .5 c. rice flour
    seeds: (optional depending on what you have)
    .25 c. flax seeds
    .25 c. pumpkin seeds




Tips

Get creative and add in whatever is on hand! Dried fruit, cinnamon, and fruit juice/puree would probably be really good!


Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

.5 c. peanut butter (natural, if you can)
.25 c. honey
.25 c. molasses (I didn't add cinnamon, but that could go great with the molasses flavor!)
1 tsp vanilla

Heat all these in a pot over low heat (around setting 3) until able to mix together and make creamy and thick.

While these are heating, mix together:

1 c. oats (steel cut)
.5 c. rice flour
seeds: (optional depending on what you have)
.25 c. flax seeds
.25 c. pumpkin seeds

Add warm liquid to dry ingredients and mix together. Put in a square metal or glass pan (cook time may vary).

Cook for at least 12 mins, then check to see if they are done. The top should be golden brown and NOT squishy! Then, voila! Delicious and nutritious! Allow to cool, then cut into squares. They will most likely not be grocery store granola bar sized-- like I said, a little bit of one of these bars will go a long way!
